Howe, Jr. Participants: John Clough David Cohen Emmanuel Ghent Max Mathews Robert Moog 8 Introduction HOWE: When we consider the problems that composers are currently dealing with in electronic music, it is apparent that, while there are still many problems to overcome, there have been great advancements over the last few years from the mod­ est beginnings of the late 'forties and early 'fifties. It was not too long ago that the primary components in an electronic music studio, with the exception of tape recorders and micro­ phpnes, were not designed for musical purposes at all. The early "classical" studios provided the means to explore qualities of sound not previously associated with music, but they provided little, compositional flexibility. :The field of electronic music received a tremendous boost in the early 'sixties with the development and wide distribution of electronic music synthesizers by the R.A. Moog Co. of Trumansburg, New York and Buchla Associates of Berkeley, California. The primary advancement in the case of both of these systems was the concept of voltage control, which allowed the operating characteristics of different instruments to be determined not only by internal controls on the front panel but also by externally generated signals. Thus, the ways in which musical parameters could be controlled were focused upon as separate problems, to which different solutions were provided by different kinds of controlling devices. (Even today, th~ pfimary difference between these two systems is the manner in wl1ith they treat control voltages.) ' . ' ; l;hese systems, and other similar synthesizers which have appeared since, have developed in two directions. One is the assemblage of what might best be described as an "electronic live performance instrument," in which the controls are sim­ J?lified. <J.nd standardize? in order to provide immediate access to a wide range of musical sounds and sound effects. (Today, a year a11d a half after this panel took place, there are several such systems competing for the market. Most of them use 9 keyboards as their primary controller, creating the impression of an electronic "organ" or, at least, "keyboard instrument.") The other direction in which these systems have developed is the assemblage of large systems which not only allow individual sounds to be structured in great depth, but also permit a certain amount of automatic or programmed control over musical characteristics. One of the first semi-automatic controlling devices was the Sequential Controller or "sequencer." The sequencer allows a certain number of control voltages, which may be used to control any musical parameter, to be preset and then performed sequentially, so that the first element of the series is repeated after the last. By combining sequential voltages with randomly or manually generated voltages, a power­ ful range of control is provided. There are clearly several ways in which further programmed controls can be introduced into an electronic music synthesizer. One is through the use of a binary input mechanism, which would allow all -of the control voltages corresponding to a !J1USical passage to be prerecorded and played back in real time. Another is through the use of a small digital computer to generate the control voltages for the system directly in real time. Either of these methods allows the combination of live and predetermined controls. Finally, the greatest range of control is provided by using a digital computer to synthesize an entire passage of music which is converted to sound through a digital-to-analog converter. While this method allows-indeed, requires-total flexibility in preprogramming, it does not allow any manual intervention in real time; there is no "live performance" at all. Our panelists represent a wide range of experience in these different areas. We are fortunate to have one of the pioneers in the development of voltage-controlled electronic music synthe­ sizers, Robert A. Moog. Another panelist, Emmanuel Ghent, describes an intermediate-level automatic controlling device which can be used in a variety of ways to provide an interaction between live and automatic control. Max Mathews, the next panelist, discusses a program which employs a small computer to control a number of analog sound generating and processing devices. Finally, David Cohen describes a computer sound­ generating program, and John Clough discusses some aspects of a complete language for music generation. IO JOHN CLOUGH Computer Music and Group Theory I will begin with preliminary remarks on two topics: First - existing programs and languages for computer sound-generation, and second - the mathematical theory of groups. These remarks will be informal and confined to information needed as back­ ground to the central topic of this paper - a language feature for sound-generation, based on the theory of groups. I will explain the function of this language feature, and suggest its potential by means of a musical example, and by means of a brief glance at one of its deeper implications. Since the late l 950's when work on computer sound-gener­ ation was begun at Bell Telephone Laboratories, at least a dozen universities and colleges (and probably nearer twice that many) have reached various stages in the implementation, development, and productive use of sound-generation programs. Two notable aspects of these efforts are ( l) composers are deeply involved in the programming itself and (2) the several programs developed display some significant differences from one another. The second of these aspects is surely due in part to the first. 11 In any case both aspects have contributed to wholesome growth. We need diversified research in order to expand the practical limits

Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers.

The term is woven deep into our language as well as our consciousness. Consider the connotations of homemade and homespun. Home can offer refuge from the hostile world, or it can be a prison. People living together inevitably — sometimes intentionally — rub one another the wrong way. This chafing provides writers with rich material for art. (Remember, without conflict there is no story.) Are these writers working through their own failed relationships with mothers, fathers, and siblings? Sometimes. Are they exploring their conflicted feelings toward a home they left behind? Maybe. Are they holding up a mirror that allows us to see our own homes and families in a new light? Most certainly. Though the trappings of Happy families are all alike; home and family differ across every unhappy family is unhappy cultures, human families have in its own way. much in common. Legend has it that a man from Czechoslovakia, — Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina after watching a production of August Wilson’s Fences (set in Pittsburgh in the 1950s), approached the playwright and asked him, “How did you know about my family?” Wilson may not have known that particular man’s family, but he knew about families and how the sins of the Getty Images / father play out in the lives of sons.

In 1936 he was asked by choreographer and dancer Léonide Massine to collaborate on a ballet project and Hindemith proposed scenes from the life of St Francis of Assisi. The resulting ballet, Nobilissima Visione (The Noblest Vision), is a work of lyricism, elegy and majesty. This is the first recording of the complete ballet score, not the three-movement concert suite that Hindemith later extracted. The Five Pieces for String Orchestra is an earlier, spirited work dating from 1927. Gerard Schwarz © Ben Vanhouten Sales Points: Most recordings of Hindemith’s attractive, moving, and majestic score for the ballet Nobilissima Visione (The Noblest Vision), are of the three-movement concert suite he extracted from it for performance and which lasts only about 20-minutes. This is invariably coupled with The Four Temperaments (as by DePriest on Delos), or the Symphony in E flat (Tortelier/EMI), or with Mathis der Maler, as on Naxos’ own 1995 disc [8.553078] with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and Franz Paul Decker.

  • “The Greatest Gift Is the Realization That Life Does Not Consist Either In
    “The greatest gift is the realization that life does not consist either in wallowing in the past or peering anxiously into the future; and it is appalling to contemplate the great number of often painful steps by which ones arrives at a truth so old, so obvious, and so frequently expressed. It is good for one to appreciate that life is now. Whatever it offers, little or much, life is now –this day-this hour.” Charles Macomb Flandrau Ernest Hemingway drank here. Cuban revolutionaries Fidel Castro and Che Guevera drank here. A longhaired young hippie musician named Jimmy Buffett drank and performed here, too. From the 1930’s through today this rustic dive bar has seen more than its share of the famous and the infamous. It’s a little joint called Capt. Tony’s in Key West, Florida. Eighty-seven-year-old Anthony ‘Capt. Tony’ Tarracino has been the owner and proprietor of this boozy establishment since 1959. It seems Tony, as a young mobster, got himself into some serious trouble with ‘the family’ back in New Jersey and needed to lay low for a while. In those days, the mosquito invested ‘keys’ (or islands) on the southernmost end of Florida’s coastline was a fine place for wise guys on the lam to hide out. And this was well before the tee-shirt shops, restaurants, bars, art galleries, charming B&B’s and quaint hotels turned Key West into a serious year-round tourist destination. Sure, there were some ‘artsy’ types like Hemingway and Tennessee Williams living in Key West during the late 50’s when Tony bought the bar, but it was a seaside shanty town where muscular hard-working men in shrimp boats and cutters fished all day for a living.
